I...no, Aardy got it!

[sigma7]

In case you missed it, aardy1 successfully snurfled up my lost word as if it were a Pay Day bar covered in ants.

My description: in the structural ballpark of "ambivalent" or "ambidextrous" but which means essentially composing a system of two essentially equal but diametrically opposed forces. (Okay, I was on crack on the "structural" part.)

Aardy came up with dichotomy: Division into two usually contradictory parts or opinions: “the dichotomy of the one and the many” (Louis Auchincloss). And that's it. I'll sleep well tonight. Dichotomy, dichotoyou; lobotomy, lobotoyou.

I had one close to that that I didn't mention as it wasn't structurally close to ambivalent... can't remember what it was now... damn, now that's gonna bother me. ;-)

Sleep well
